Soccer Week 2... or... I'm Broken
Well, I survived week two of playing soccer with the new boss. I even managed to accumulate some plays, though not the best ones. Here they are in order of worst to best.
- A goal.... on my own net. I was in there trying to block and it came in and deflected off of me. Wow, that sucks.
- A shot on goal. The right one this time, but the kick went a couple of feet too high.
- An assist. A lovely assist actually, I managed to catch a bad pass, run with it a bit and then pass it up field to some random dude (on my team for a change) to put it in.
Other than those there was lots of running and panting. I did learn two things though. Don't eat a big dinner (or even a medium sized one) just before playing. Dont' eat a protein bar right after playing if you still have to bike home. Both these things will result in cramps and pain.
It was a lot of fun again though. It was nice and sunny and I got lots of good exercise for a couple of hours. Of course I was silly and went to the gym after work but before dinner and blew out my arms (left my legs alone). Then I rode home (actually made it up the evil hill to home without walking the bike as well).
I really have no one to blame for this though, except for society, Cosmo, and my parents for not raising a smarter kid that knows not to do these things.
